Binarity requirement: in core syllables, each constituent can be at most binary (can"t be more than two consonants in onset or coda) Example 1: cat [k t] k = onset. Example 2: captive [k pt v] k = onset t = onset. Rule of thumb: onsets are greedy, onsets will take as many consonants that it can (must be possible, for example, it wouldn"t take pt in second syllable in captive bc no word starts with pt) Example 4: mistake [m stejk] m = onset. Non-core syllables: onset: gl nucleus: ij no coda onset: st nucleus: ej coda: k. /s: in english, the extra consonants are always voiceless and made w the tip of the tongue (ex.
